Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties New Update for February Addresses Progression Issues
While RGG Studio hasn’t released the official patch notes yet, the studio did comment on a progression issue affecting the game on all platforms.
Issue
In all versions up through v1.12, if the player is in Chapter 9 and saves while in Purgatory, upon loading the save data, the time of day will be switched to nighttime, and the limousine outside Millennium Tower required for the “Find Tamiya’s limousine” story event will not spawn. This prevents the player from continuing with the main story.
Patch v1.13
After applying patch v1.13, if the above bug is occurring, players may load save data from Purgatory or Kamurocho. This should properly reset the time of day to daytime and allow for continuation of the storyline.
※ Note: If save data from Downtown Ryukyu is loaded in v1.13, the time of day will remain nighttime. In this case, please travel to Kamurocho and save once more. Loading this save data from Kamurocho should reset you to daytime and fix the story progression issue.
If the developers release an official changelog, we’ll update the article with the info.
